Tuning: Standard
Capo on 1
D2 is a C formation slid up the neck 3 frets. A regular D works as well but it is 
played on the album like that.

G                                      D                          G
I kept the little French girl tucked behind my eyelids
C                                             G                          D2
Three times to the hour ?till her glass reached the bottom
       G                                              D                          G
And come around the time that she turned around the corner
C                                  G                           D2         G    C G
The days till I get gone became twice as long
                                    C
Oh she?s something like a whisper
                                           G             C G
Through the Friday evening noise
                                   Am          C
Though we never got to talking
                                             G        C G
And thought I never heard her voice
                                      C
I know that melody she?s singing
                                 G            C G
I hear it in the missing wind
                                         D          G          C                 D2            
It leaves me standing in the emptiness of something 
                    G         C G
that never did begin
  G                                    D                   G
I left that dirty bedroom stained into my day clothes
C                                                G                     D2
One time from my own love and one time from another
       G                                          D                        G
And come the shadow morning I called upon my old friends
        C                                       G                        D2          G C G
They rearranged their faces and payed out at the corner
                                       C
Oh it was something like a whisper
                                         G        C G
Through the Friday evening noise
                                             Am         C
Though we should have got to talking
                                                    G         C G
And though I should have used my voice
                                       C      
There?s that melody we?re singing
                             G         C G
I miss it in the leper wind
                                         D       G          C                     D2
It leaves me standing in the emptiness of something
                           G
 that never should begin
